MoonPads is a collection of sensory tiles that guides children with developmental disabilities through games and activities. Constructed from soft and flexible silicone and designed to be customizable, MoonPads use lights, sounds and vibrations to engage and direct children through activity-based therapy sessions. Therapists can modify the light, sound and vibration settings on each tile to maximise comfort for the children. Providing aid and entertainment, MoonPads highlight the communal advantages of empathy in the design process.
